Quote:
Conceptualizer Director: These individuals consider life to be a process of maximizing achievements versus just attaining accomplishments. These achievements are maximized if they entail deep thought and profound integration of everything that they have learned. A consistent drive for self-mastery allows them to stay focused on their intentions and the more they are challenged the happier they are. Their thinking can be described as analytical, integrative and very complex. They are able to analyze a situation and build a vision that no one else could have even thought of, which allows for a natural long-range visioning to occur. In order to help others understand the vision, they will dress it up with logic because very few are able to just stay with the general concept. It is easy for them to grasp the interrelatedness of everything in their Universe and to see the reasons behind things. Maintaining their independence is important to them, because it allows them their need to be an independent thinker. The need for independence can be a problem in the interpersonal realm as people can misread it for arrogance versus the desire to come up with useful solutions that will help people in the long run. Staying on course of their vision is necessary for their very survival, and they find life dull and draining during the “lows” of that progression.
It is extremely relevant for me. Especially in combination with this:

INTJs present a calm, decisive, and assured face to the world, though they may find it difficult to engage in social conversation. They usually don't directly express their most valued and valuable part: their creative insights. Instead, they translate them into logical decisions, opinions, and plans, which they often express clearly. Because of this, other sometimes experience INTJs as intractable, much to the surprise of the INTJ, who is very willing to change an opinion when new evidence emerges.
Following that somewhat sacred inner journey, which seems to be related to "NI' in terms of MBTI terms, may also be linked to :Ni: in socionics terms in this way (somehow). Whether or not there is any reality to that, I do not know. But the truth is, I express my inner ideas only with people close to me, and they are intuitive in nature - they are delicate and unformed. But they also, as I said above, provide what I am finding to be the only "real", consistent leads for me to follow. And yes, absolutely, it is something I produce myself. I am finding the more I produce - the more involvement I make in that way - the more I go further.
